Waves
The top of the wave.
What is the crest?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
Light bouncing off an object.This light can enter the eye and be seen by the eye.
What is reflection?
Electrons flowing along a wire or other conductive material.
What is an electric current?
A thermal energy being transferred from one place to another.
What is heat?
The bottom of the wave.
What is trough?
Stored energy.
What is potential energy?
Bending light.
What is refraction?
Something a circuit needs to work.
What is a constant flow of energy?
Sound and light travel in these.
What are waves?
How long a wave is.
What is a wavelength?
Energy an object has due to its motion.
What is an kinetic energy?
Object lets ALL light pass through (like a window).
What is transparent?
Something that blocks the flow of energy. Example: Rubber, plastic
What is an insulator?
Two objects hitting each other. Energy is transferred from one object to another.
What is a collision?
How tall a wave is.
What is amplitude?
The distance an object travels in a certain amount of time.
What is speed?
Object lets no light pass through.
What is opaque?
Something that allows energy to pass through. Example: metal
What is a conductor?
In a car collision, the sound made in skidding is an example of this.
What is sound energy?
Movement of particles.
What is vibration?
Energy that comes from a star in the form of light and radiation.
What is a solar energy?
Some light can pass through. (LUCY LAMPSHADE)
What is translucent?
Energy being changed from one form to another. Example: electricity to heat
What is energy conversion?
The tires screeching during a collision creates friction which, in turn, makes this kind of energy.
What is a thermal energy or heat energy?
